We are running MSSQL7 on Windows NT4 sp6 os and are starting to test our upgrade process to Windows 2000 still running MSSQL7. We are doing side by side server upgrades. So when the server is up with windows 2000 I am installing MSSQL 7 and then bringing my all my databases over from my NT4 server, both user and system. The master database does not want to move onto the windows 2000 platform. When trying to bring the SQL server up it errors out with a NT windows error. Can any one give me recommendations on how you are moving your databases forward from NT to 2000 with out having to start from scratch on the master database. Thanks..
